What a wonderful story about a 7-year-old girl who is living with her loving uncle. Mary, the young girl, is very intelligent—far beyond her years—and her uncle has knowledge of it. But he wants her to grow up and have somewhat of a normal childhood with friends, being in sports if she wants, enjoy having pets and develop social skills with others.

When Frank sends Mary to a local school, it does not take long before the staff there, especially her teacher, realize the girl is “gifted.” They get the estranged grandmother involved to decide what is right for this young child.

It is a heartwarming story of love by a family member trying to do the best for someone who is “gifted.” Sometimes, as parents, we push our children so hard that we forget to let them be children first. This story opens everyone’s eyes about doing the right thing for a child rather than for themselves. “Gifted” is a great story for those over 12, but unfortunately due to some offensive language—some uttered by children—it cannot be approved by Dove.
